Peter Dreams shares “Forget Yer Name” from forthcoming debut solo album, a collaboration with MOONRIIVR. The new album arrives February 14, 2025 ahead of Peter Dreams’ album release show at Toronto’s Axis Club on February 26.

On “Forget Yer Name,” whispered regret, cold as stone, sets this game of sonic misdirection in motion. Over soft-shoed tones of muted sax and mellotron, Peter Dreams’ vocals build towards an explosion, a force of nature blast from deep in the soul. Cleansing, cathartic and final, “Forget Yer Name” makes uneasy peace with release.

For his debut solo album, Peter Dreams trades known quantities for new possibilities, opening a gateway to an alternate sonic reality. The sound of Peter Dreams (solo moniker of Peter Dreimanis from July Talk), in collaboration with MOONRIIVR, is post punk psychic cold plunge that recasts one of the most instantly recognizable voices in alternative rock. Mellow in tempo but undiluted in intensity, Peter Dreams and MOONRIIVR travels on a slipstream of intuition, this is art made for its own reasons.

Not so much unleashed as it is untangled, the songs on this debut originate in the back pockets of the psyche, set to MOONRIIVR’s decade-hopping concoctions. The lyrics resurface profound events of all sorts – brushes with death, life altering occurrences and other cataclysmic disturbances – the kinds of catastrophes and euphorias that don’t fit comfortably in the everyday front of the mind.

Equal parts inscrutable, vulnerable and dramatic, in its most introspective moments, Peter Dreams and MOONRIIVR explores a similar emotional vein as albums like Skeleton Treeor Titanic Rising.

Peter Dreimanis makes his acting debut in Sinners, the forthcoming feature film directed by Ryan Coogler, due in April 2025.

Peter Dreams and MOONRIIVR arrives February 14, 2025.
